Stephen K. Bannon opens the April 21, 2026 episode by condemning media lies and detailing John Solomon's "grand conspiracy" theory involving Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment, and withheld intelligence on voter database vulnerabilities from January 2020. The discussion critiques Democratic redistricting in Virginia under Governor Abigail Spanberger before shifting to geopolitical tensions where Eric Bowling speculates JD Vance may negotiate with Iran via Zoom rather than traveling, potentially securing oil deals funded by seizing collateral from wealthy nations like the UAE. Ultimately, the episode frames current events as a battle against deep state obstruction and foreign interference requiring aggressive legal and diplomatic countermeasures. [Automatically generated summary]
Well, new sheriff in town down in Fort Pierce, Florida, Joe DeGeneva, a former U.S. attorney, a former independent counsel, a former special counsel, one of the few lawyers in the history of this country to have ever filled all three of those roles.
He knows how to prosecute.
He knows how to cut through the bureaucracy.
And he also knows how not to charge someone.
And I think that's important, not charging someone who shouldn't be charged and then charging those who should be charged.
And I think he brings a gravitas to the investigation that was sorely needed.
The Florida Miami team is an excellent office.
This prosecutor has more experience in the ways of Washington, and that's important because a lot of these crimes originated in Washington, inside the White House, inside the Justice Department, inside the FBI.
So, new sheriff is headline number one, and he started yesterday.
He is fully at work.
Two, Kash Patel has said exactly what I've been saying on your show that I thought by the end of this month or early May, there would be decisions on John Brennan, James Comey, and maybe a couple of other people that are being investigated and under targeting right now.
Over the weekend, I broke an important story that explains why Brennan's been delayed a little bit.
The John Thune run Senate has still not gotten the Justice Department, its own party's Justice Department, the transcripts it needs to make a final decision on John Brennan's indictment.
That's silly.
Now, there are a couple of things, as we talked about yesterday.
The Justice Department should stop wasting time and drop a grand jury subpoena.
Senate Delays Justice Department Transcripts00:15:25
Or John Thune ought to get a deal and get it done.
But nine weeks have elapsed since the request came in.
Eight weeks have elapsed since the deadline passed.
That's really intransigence and obstruction of a federal prosecution.
The third thing that both Kash Patel and I have been talking about and that Tulsi Gabbard has been assisting in with her great declassification efforts is the fact that we're beginning to be able to prove documents with documents and evidence that 2020 wasn't a perfect election.
It was not.
The most secure election in American history, like Chris Krebs declared on television.
We now know that Iran and China hacked voter registration databases.
We now know, as of this morning, with the new document that Tulsi declassified at our request and that I put out this morning, that the intelligence community unanimously assessed in January and February of 2020 that America's election infrastructure was highly vulnerable to foreign intrusions.
And of all the things that they flagged, the most vulnerable were the voter registration databases, the very things that China and Iran just Few months later, what happened.
Now, why is that important?
We've been sold the story that this was a secure election.
It wasn't.
We were kept from very important information during the 2020 election that identified these vulnerabilities.
They could have been closed.
There could have been greater offensive measures taken to make sure that the things that did happen China and Iran hocking into the registration databases, China sending fake driver's licensees hoping they could get ballots that would vote for Joe Biden those things could have been warded off with a more aggressive and assertive.
Campaign.
But instead, when the president, President Trump, did get briefed on this particular memo, now he didn't get briefed on the later intrusions by China, but he did get briefed on this memo.
He told the people, there's a picture up on the website.
You can actually see the meeting.
All the president's men and women around the desk, the Resolute desk in the Oval Office, he said, declassify this information, get it out to the public.
According to Chris Porter, the officer who wrote this memo, who couldn't talk about it until today when it was declassified, the CIA and others, Thwarted the president's will, did not declassify that information, left the states, the state election systems, the secretaries of states, and others in the dark about the vulnerabilities that were going on.
I think that's an extraordinary statement.
And then later, when some of the vulnerabilities are exploited, and China does the driver's licenses, does the hacking into the thing, Iran hacks into one state and takes 100,000 voter IDs and starts using them in the election, they don't tell us.
They keep us in the dark and they keep telling us and they force feed us.
A false narrative that it was a secure election.
It wasn't.
This is not the most explosive stuff that Tulsi Gabbard holds in her hands.
She's working to declassify evidence that will show how many states were penetrated by China and what happened with the data.
Keep in mind, as best I can tell, not a single state has been informed that China hacked into their voter registration data or got access to it through a third party or other means.
That is a crime.
Six years later, we don't know that these states haven't been able to effectively.
Um, ward off against further intrusions, try to figure out what data was compromised.
I do believe that John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard are going to drop those in May.
I think that will be an extraordinary moment.
That will be more important than anything that we put up to date on the election integrity stuff that we're reporting on.
And I just want to remind everybody in Great Britain, this happened in Great Britain in 2024, it was a national scandal for months.
Will the country in America react the same?
Will our leaders react the same?
Will John Thune and the excuse makers in the Senate react?
Passed the Save America Act.
This new data in May, I think, could be an incredible impetus for everybody to reevaluate where they stand on election integrity measures.
John, if you go back to your theory of the case of the grand conspiracy, I just want to make sure this is right in my mind, and therefore the audience has this information is that we go through the crossfire hurricane and the pre President Trump election in 2016, Democrats, you've got the Russia hoax, right?
And then they segue, that doesn't work.
They go to the Ukraine impeachment.
But then we get into.
You've got that's Democrats coming after us, making stuff up.
When you talk about the laptop from hell, it comes up in November, December 2019 to Chris Ray and Barr, and the FBI suppresses it.
Then you're saying in January and February 2020, because this is all it's segueing now from opposition to Trump in a different political party that kind of oversees the deep state.
But then you've got an entire segment that this is President Trump's government.
These are the heads of DHS, his CIA director, DNI, you know, FBI, you know, Bill Barr, attorney general.
That's November and December on the laptop.
Then you segue into this information where they're telling him it was his government, it was Krebs, right?
And even Wolf to a degree that were saying the most secure election.
I mean, Krebs went on 60 Minutes right afterwards, the most secure election, the most secure election.
Then you segue into the steal, Biden.
And then Biden, in those years in the wilderness where Biden is now trying to put using lawfare to put Trump in prison and destroy other people around him.
Now we come back and win.
And you've been fighting.
This is what I think drives people crazy.
You've been fighting to get this information out nine months ago.
And now we're in April heading into May.
And every day it's a struggle.
This release is fine.
But this is also President Trump's government.
This is what I think drives people totally insane.
If you look at this continuum, right, this critical path, you've got about a third of the time is under control of really President Trump's government of people that he's selected that are obviously working against him.
Then you drop the bomb that John Thune, who just yesterday said, We're not taking back up the Save America Act, that's dead.
John Thune sits there and is holding up key paperwork, memos, and letters.
That we can get, you know, Brennan nailed on.
So, what is going on?
Are there elements of the Republican establishment that are just as tied into the deep state as the Democrats?
And this process, this grand conspiracy timeline proves it.
More than half of the time that this grand conspiracy has been going on against the president, his own party was in control of the executive branch in the Congress.
I just want to let that seep in a second.
50% of this conspiracy was carried out on Donald Trump's watch against him by the people that he trusted around him.
Now, I put that photo out this morning so everybody could see who's in the room.
Gina Haspel, the CIA director, top FBI officials, top home and security officials.
If Chris Border is right, That the president ordered those documents released that day, and those people walked out of the room and say, I ain't going to do it.
There should be a consequence for that.
That is defying a presidential order.
If after that, if some of the things that happened in the 2020 election, because they were still vulnerable, occurred, and we didn't tell the American people, and we came out and said it was a perfect election, most secure election in history, those people can be held to account.
I thought the single most important thing that Kash Patel said on Sunday with Marie Bartiroma wasn't the deadline.
Because you and I have been talking about that deadline now for about a month.
It was the fact that he considers some of these election matters to be part of the grand conspiracy.
So there looks to be a fifth element now.
All right, we got Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment, classified documents, Arctic Frost, which is the effort to repackage January 6th into some sort of insurrection against the Constitution.
But Kash Patel is saying the fifth element, which falls between 1, 2, and 3, 4, is the effort to hide vulnerabilities that were going on.
In the election, and perhaps allow certain election rule changes to occur that violated state laws.
I want to remind everybody that when Cash rated Georgia, he said that the law he was rating it under was the law that says if you have laws in your state, you don't follow them under a federal presidential election, you can be prosecuted for evading a law because the legislature, not the election bureaucrats, get to decide the manner of the election.
And so in Georgia and in Wisconsin, there's some pretty strong evidence, and now maybe Michigan and Arizona.
Pretty strong evidence that some of the rules were changed that were not in compliance with what the legislators want.
That could become another part of the grand conspiracy.
And Kash Patel confirmed that is a part of the grand spirit.
It was the first time I'd heard that, was when he said it to Maria.
So you have a five headed conspiracy now, five different subjects, five different operations going on.
And it appears that they're doing that to put them all together.
And you got a very senior prosecutor at the helm.
Now, listen, a lot of the things that I have now put out, I originally FOIA'd.
Since Donald Trump became president, I used the open records law and I was turned down by multiple agencies.
Lots of agencies have turned me down.
I persisted, negotiated, cajoled, and we've been starting to get these documents released one by one.
But it's too slow a process.
It's an unnecessarily slow process for a president who clearly values transparency.
I think the president's about to throw a hand grenade into the middle of that dynamic and create a new mechanism by which this information could be declassified and released.
I think we'll hear about that in the next 10 days.
Even President Trump, this is why the Republican establishment, who are told globalists are so dangerous.
Now we got Thune, they're all whining up here, all bitching and moaning.
The Senate, that the Cook Report has now put the Senate in play.
I just don't think it's in play.
I think it's really in play.
I think it's long odds now.
For the, told the Senate because they recruited Thune is just, you just understand, he's a creation of Mitch McConnell.
He and Cornyn, that whole leadership crowd, all of them are worthless.
Some are just more worthless.
You know, all Republican establishments are worthless, just some are more worthless than others to do a rift on Animal Farm.
Now they're all running around.
Oh my God, we're going to lose the Senate.
You deserve to lose the Senate.
You haven't done anything.
Everything you've done is performative.
And today, this Arctic Frost, I want to see what the action is.
If it hadn't been for Solomon and Tom Fenton, you got cash inside, and you see this and go back over the timeline.
Everything they're talking about releasing these documents today that.
At the highest levels of the government, they knew that the election system was vulnerable.
Oh my gosh, you know, with Matt Meck and Tina Peters and Mike Lindell, people in prison because of this, other people they tried to bankrupt because of this.
The human carnage here is unbelievable.
The folks down in Georgia that are fighting this, these are patriots, folks out in Arizona that are fighting this to try to destroy you, make sure you can't get a job, bankrupt you.
Now we know this morning because Tulsi Gabbert finally released it and she's been fighting an incredible fight.
It's one of the reasons they leak on her all the time and hate her.
She speaks truth to power.
I will match up, and the investigations will be done here.
I will match up everything Mossad and CIA said about what was going to happen in Iran versus what Tulsi Garbin said was going to happen.
Let's just declassify it now.
Let's land it up next to each other on a piece of paper, and you see who was right and who was wrong.
Who was telling the president the truth and who was lying and spinning.
So, Tulsi.
Releases this document, these documents this morning that in January and February, at the highest level of the intelligence community and DHS and Justice Department, the law enforcement community knew that the system was hackable and very hackable.
And they took a united front not to release that, not to tell the states.
The Chinese Communist Party hacked it.
And then they lied about it.
Krebs should be in prison for the rest of his life.
Krebs ran right to 60 Minutes.
Maybe we could just play that this week on the six o'clock show.
Krebs went right to 60 Minutes, the most secure election history.
And Chad Wolf, no offense, bro, he reported to you.
All these people, CIA, DNI, Barr, Barr is one of the worst.
Barr sat in the Oval Office in Baltimore, it's in his book, Baldface Lie to the President.
In November, maybe early December, I think it was late November of 2020, right after the election.
He said he had gone out to the field offices and asked specifically for a report in the field offices of Atlanta and Phoenix.
In Detroit and Milwaukee and Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, he had asked, had there been any election interference of note?
And people came back and said, no.
That's a bald faced lie.
We know that the U.S. attorney in Philadelphia actually sent him a letter saying, I think we got to delay the certification of this election because of grievous errors.
This was about the mail in ballots and about the two cages and having the double envelopes and not being able to get to them until they ripped them open.
The deep state made it, which they do all the time.
That's what has to be shattered.
And God bless Joe Geneva, who's a hero of mine, his wife, Victoria Tenzing.
These people are heroes.
They've been fighters, but Joe's 81 and he's not a young 81.
It's not like Trump.
They've had to call him back.
On active duty to make sure this thing hammers through.
Why is that, you ask?
Why is that, Steve?
Because the big law firms, the conservative law firms, have put the word out that if you work for Trump's main justice, if you work as a process, you come in one of these special projects, you're not going to be, you're not going to work at a major law firm.
Todd Blanch had to leave his law firm.
His partner said, if you take that job with Trump, you have to leave.
I had some of the big, I've got the bills assured.
I had some of the most powerful law firms in the country that represented me.
And they came to me after January 6th and said, anybody associated with Trump and any of his kind of inner circle, we can't represent anymore because, not because of you personally, we like you, you're fine.
We don't mind you as a client, but our corporate clients, because the corporation is the most progressive forces in the country.
Don't sit there and give me Atlas Shrugged.
No, they're the most progressive and some of the most evil and wicked.
You see this from DEI, you see this from everything they do, as manifested now in artificial intelligence and what they're doing there.
But they told all the Trump people, not me, but President Trump also.
President Trump had always had tremendous representation.
And then that's why Todd Blanch and Emil Bovey, who are two heroes, came in the darkest of the dark days under Boris' guidance and put together a team.
That eventually won across the board.
And that any misstep at all, President Trump be in prison, which they wanted.
And they're coming again.
This is what I don't think the White House quite has got the memo in this.
They're coming this time 10x harder than they came last time.
This is what I told CPI.
I think it was during the inauguration when I talked to CPI.
I'm looking at my ever bored producer here.
I think we went to CPI.
I think it was during the inauguration festivities.
I gave that speech where I was banging on the podium up there like a madman, telling them no matter what you do, just by being associated with President Trump's second term, that they're going to come after you and put you in prison.
Well, we've got volunteers all over the place standing at the polls, and I was out earlier this morning.
I mean, it does look like if you can show people the maps who are showing up kind of confused, they want to do their civic duty to vote, but you can actually show them physically what the Democrats are proposing, which is taking normal looking maps that make sense regionally and switching this to five congressional districts anchored in one particular county, in Fairfax County.
You know, the richest and most connected county probably in America, they begin to see what's happening.
Now, how many of those we're converting, I don't know.
And then the big question that we dealt with throughout Governor Youngkin's time as governor is we've done a big push for early voting, but do we have the voters waiting to actually vote on election day?
Are we just shifting our core constituency to early?
And this will be another test of that.
I mean, it's one reason a bunch of us have been out on the ground trying to talk to younger people.
Who may or may not really feel like they've got any skin in the game and say, This is going to decide the future for you.
Are you going to be led by radical Democrats who want to take your guns, tear down your statues, obliterate everything that you value in your life?
Or are you going to fight back so that Republicans at least have an opportunity to push back on that in Washington?
It seemed to resonate with a big audience out.
In the Eastern Shore that I visited with yesterday, it was a really younger demographic.
I was so thankful to be put in front of them.
But we got to grow this party and we got to grow it fast.
And this will be a test of whether we've reached those new voters and whether they're buying in to what's happening.
Yeah, but if you don't win today, I mean, given the crushing defeat you had in the House of Representatives last November, no state offices, and now you're not going to have any congressmen.
Good luck.
I just, I hate to be a native Virginian.
It's going to be a long haul.
The Southwest also, but just walk me through the math today, because what has to happen?
We still have people who are in posse, manning phone banks, because you see, the Southwest, that all important Southwest Virginia doesn't look like it's voting.
And maybe the fact that I guess their congressional district is the one that doesn't change.
What actually has to happen between now and 7 p.m. to squeak out a victory here?
Glenn Youngkin, the whole getting Youngkin in the first time was a massive effort of this show and John Furks and other people to turn out Trump voters.
From 2020, and Youngkin didn't include Trump.
I mean, this is 100% on Youngkin.
He didn't, this is a complete debacle because of him.
The reason Trump voters aren't coming out, they don't think he's MAGA.
Well, as you pointed out before this, I was really hoping we would see more money earlier in this campaign from the RNC and from other groups in Washington that they wouldn't repeat what I'll say was kind of stingy last year.
I mean, they left a number of us hanging when we were pretty tight in the polls.
And I do absolutely agree with you, Steve.
Embracing President Trump is really important if you want those core Trump supporters to turn out.
The one thing I'll say is that there are people who are out campaigning.
Today and have been campaigning for the last couple of weeks who hate each other in Virginia.
They don't agree on things.
They've got, you know, there's a past where they're mad with each other.
They are working hard to try to accomplish this.
And I'm hoping that they've been able to collectively pull their pockets of supporters and groups that maybe don't understand what's on the line together and get them to show up.
But the reason that's happening, it's good that it is happening now.
There's a simple reason it's happening.
You and Jeff Reyer and this amazing grassroots, particularly the chairman of these rural counties, just sat there and go with that kind of toughness and grit to say, hey, we're not prepared to have the Commonwealth destroyed because this is what you're going to destroy of representative government.
We're going to fight this.
It was the grassroots momentum, and nobody tossed any money.
And this thing, even President Trump's campaign to throw $5 million, the leaders of that, Decided to a grassroots effort not to buy more TV spots.
Remember, if the consultants can't find a way to grift off the money, and that's buying TV spots.
You're right about that.
Which we know doesn't work.
This is all right now, particularly with Trump voters, lower propensity voters, lower information voters.
It's all voter contact.
It's doing what they're doing in Kent.
It's doing what they're doing in Hanover.
It's doing what you've been preaching.
And hey, guess what?
That works.
When people actually see the lobster because the Democrats never show it, they go, What?
That's not a fair map.
That's Fairfax.
That's the most liberal, progressive part of the country controlling the entire Commonwealth of Virginia, Brother Reed.
And they are seeing it when we get the map up in front of folks.
I've been posting it through socials all over the place.
You know, one other factor here, Steve, that's important is last year when we were running, it was all a hypothetical that the Democrats would be radical in Virginia.
You know, Abigail Spamberger, our new governor, had presented herself falsely as some sort of soccer mom with a gun who, oddly enough, used to be in the CIA.
I still can't figure out why no one.
Had concerns or investigated that, but she presented herself as a moderate.
Now, I knew it was baloney because she had been my congresswoman and I saw her go after uh Dave Bratt in the front row of his town hall meetings like she was one of these radical no king protesters.
So, I was telling people, Don't be fooled, this lady is gonna be hyper aggressive.
She is a leftist, there's a reason she's in Virginia and she's planted here to try to take things over.
She's not gonna play nice with everyone, and you can't be fooled.
Well, now.
What, three months after she's been inaugurated, everybody in Virginia is on notice.
She's declared us a sanctuary city.
She's going after law enforcement.
She and her party proposed 51 taxes on everything, including your mattress that you sleep on.
People are having a visceral reaction to that.
And I am hopeful that with the grassroots effort that you've referenced, which is real, it has been done and doesn't cost the millions of dollars that the consultants can skim off of, coupled with people being really ticked off.
About the governance they're getting from people who presented themselves as moderates who cared about affordability and dining room tables, economic issues.
I'm hoping our crowd is going to turn out.
But they don't answer polls when you call them, they're not interested in talking about it, assuming they even pick up the phone.
So this is an experiment in some ways.
I'm just glad that everybody has put their baggage aside in Virginia and is at least for this month and a half working real hard to pull it off.
Remember, this May contracting crude oil is coming off the board today.
Massive volatility usually by the end of the day.
So we're looking at June right now.
Up a little bit, Stephen.
And yeah, we can talk about the plan.
But more importantly, you see what's Saudi and Iran, there's some private war going on.
I think we were talking about this offline.
And you've been saying this for the whole way.
There's no, there's, there's Saudi Arabia, some of the other Middle Eastern producing countries hate Iran, hate Iran for what they've done.
They fear Iran, they're the bully in the Middle East.
And so there is a kind of undercurrent going on there.
But I do think that we're going to, we're getting close to a deal.
I think the people who know a lot are not driving the price way up based on what they could be doing with some of the rhetoric coming out of the Iranian contingency.
So it feels like this is a lot of positioning publicly.
So that they can kind of lean on the negotiators, the other side, so they can get a better deal.
But I do honestly believe that it's almost like he's been doing what we've been talking about, Steve.
It was within the first week or two of the war, I came to you and I said, look, there's a way to get this.
They may not make everyone happy, but you're going to have to really bring them to their knees.
You've got to hit them hard.
You have to go take some extraordinary measures.
And I mentioned roads and I mentioned water plants and whatnot.
They did that or they threatened to do that.
Trump said we can obliterate the whole citizenship, or more recently, we can take out power plants, water salinization, desalinization plants, and that brings them to the bargaining table.
So that worked to soften them up at the bargaining table and then throw in our massive oil companies.
Our oil companies are the best in the world, better than the Middle Eastern oil companies.
Pull that oil out of the ground, increase their production, and we get first crack at that production at market prices.
Not the original oil that they're producing now, but we can raise their oil six, seven million barrels between Iran and Venezuela.
And all of a sudden, Trump is the guy who gave us oil stability for an eternity.
So it feels like that may be the plan in play right now.
But again, some of the things we've talked about over the last 52 days, 53 days or so, are coming to fruition as we speak.
I get the alerts from the press pool anytime the president or vice president move.
They can move from the White House to the golf course.
I get the narrative on what happened on the way.
I get for the vice president as well.
And I haven't gotten any movement from the vice president as far as the press pool is concerned.
Nothing, no emails at all.
And I will add, Steve, I don't know if you watched that CNBC, probably didn't.
It was right before your show started, but Trump called into CNBC for a very wide ranging, almost a 30 minute conversation.
And He mentioned that JD Vance was definitely involved in negotiations, but then didn't say he was going to be there for him.
So he may be negotiating.
You could zoom it as well, which would probably, to your point, why send the VP over there and risk them not showing up and an embarrassment to the United States?
But here's my point you're not, if you got to zoom it, that's fine, do that.
But look, there's two things.
Number one, It's the terms of the negotiation.
Obviously, there's a big gap between the bid and the ask.
There is also who are we negotiating with and can they deliver on what they agree to?
I don't happen to believe that the guys I see can deliver, particularly on Hormuz, because Hormuz, some days it's closed, some days it's open, some days ships are trying to run the blockade, other days they're not.
Do we have the clip about UAE by President Trump?
Yeah, let's go.
I want to play this one.
I want you to listen to this.
They asked him this morning about our favorite ally.
They were, more than anybody else, I mean, it was shocking because we thought that they'd shoot missiles at Israel, but not every other country in the area.
And, you know, UAE got hit with 1,400 missiles.
Now, fortunately, they had the Patriots and they had a great defense and they were able to shoot down most of them.
But they did get hit hard.
They were hit the hardest of the group, actually.
And they're really led by incredible people.
And, yeah, I mean, I'm surprised because they are really rich.
You know, they invested a year ago.
I went there and I got them to invest $1 trillion in the United States.
They're building a tremendous plant in a great state called Oklahoma, aluminum plant, smelting plant, beautiful, incredible, top of the - it'll be the best anywhere in the world.
You know, they're very good for this country.
Yeah, if I could help them, I would.
I mean, we're helping them much more with what we're doing with the war because, you know, the bully of the Middle East was Iran.
Iran was a bully and bullied all of these countries around, and they threatened them all the time.
And they threatened about the Harmos Strait.
They threatened.
Sometimes some people call it the Strait of Harmos, which is actually a more beautiful wording.
Tell the president of the United States his negotiating strategy.
But, Mr. President, here's what I would do.
Let's collateral.
If you're going to do it, if we're going to do it, because it's going to be a firestorm if you do it, because they are perceived as wealthy, because they are wealthy.
If they got a liquidity problem, it's because they mismanaged it.
Remember, Dubai went bankrupt during 2008.
This is why MBZ from Abu Dhabi runs the deal.
I would seize, I would secure all the collateral.
They've got including their trillion dollars worth of investments here in the United States as collateral.
Bowling, am I too far off base on that?
Maybe take a little collateral for this thing if it goes through.
Steve, I read into that what the UAE is asking for.
And yesterday we kind of hit them hard because they're a very wealthy country, Dubai, and could be the playground or Disneyland or Vegas for the world for rich people.
And then I read into it, and it doesn't appear that they want an actual physical loan.
It looks like, and I'm going to give you another side of this, which I think may be a reason to actually do this.
It's not alone, right?
They want to swap.
They want to have access to the US dollar at a lower rate, at a fair rate.
And what I would suggest this is up to the Fed.
The Fed will be the one who decides whether or not it's supposed to be this swap mechanism is supposed to be for countries that need it, who are allies of ours, or if they fail, it will be detrimental to our economy.
So here's my point.
You give them this swap operation.
You don't lose a lot of money in it.
Maybe it's a little bit of a loss on commissions and whatever, but offer them the US dollar because, Steve, in return, you say, guess what?
